Ltr2-11: Title I, Part D

NOTICE OF THE SECOND APPORTIONMENT FOR TITLE I, PART D,
SUBPART 2, NEGLECTED, DELINQUENT, AND AT-RISK YOUTH
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT OF 2001
FISCAL YEAR 2011–12

This apportionment, in the amount of $5,903,486, is made from federal funds provided to the state under Title I, Part D, Subpart 2, Neglected, Delinquent, and At-Risk Youth, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds are apportioned to local educational agencies (LEAs) to provide programs that serve children and youth who are in locally operated correctional facilities or are attending community day programs for delinquent children and youth, and to provide assistance to children and youth who are neglected or at-risk of dropping out of school.

The amount paid to each LEA in this apportionment was determined based on information reported by the LEA in the Cash Management Data Collection (CMDC) system. The federal cash management threshold was then applied to the information that LEAs reported in January 2012. As such, each LEA’s payment is equal to 25 percent of its Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 entitlement minus the reported cash balance as of January 31, 2012, subject to a maximum payment equal to the unpaid entitlement amount. The California Department of Education (CDE) implemented CMDC in October 2010 for Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 in order to reduce the time elapsing between the receipt and disbursement of federal funds, pursuant to the cash management requirements under federal statute and regulations. More details on the CMDC are posted at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/cm/.

This apportionment reflects the second payment of the 2011–12 entitlement to LEAs that applied for Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds on the 2011–12 Consolidated Application, Part 1, and that have a State Board of Education approved LEA Plan. Entitlement amounts have been adjusted for LEAs that failed to meet the federal maintenance of effort requirement applicable to 2011–12 funding, pursuant to Section 9521 of the ESEA and Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 299, Subpart D, Section 299.5. Preliminary entitlement amounts that were posted on the CDE Categorical Programs Web page have been adjusted to reflect revised population and allocation amounts established for LEAs by the United States Department of Education (ED). Amounts paid in this apportionment are listed on the schedule of apportionment posted on the CDE Categorical Programs Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/.

LEAs have the option to consolidate and use Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds with other federal, state, and local funds for schoolwide programs pursuant to Section 1114 of the ESEA and Title 34 of the CFR, Part 200, Subpart A, sections 200.25 through 200.29. Additional information such as program purposes, eligibility of schools, core elements, components, and benefits of a schoolwide program, is posted on the CDE Schoolwide Programs Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/sw/rt/.
